    I will say i used to think that about moving averages that way, but they have way more value than most give them credit for. I don't swing and but, i'm not sure what the true definition is, what ever it is, it's certainly longer than i would hold a position for.

    For me anyway, I look to hold a position usually, anywhere from 3 days to 10 days. Most of the time, I close my trade long before it reaches 10 days unless, the stock is still trending strongly in my favor. I look to price action to tell me to exit or stay in.

  4. Because the market is designed to take your money. Particularly if you love to trade. The market holds the highest attraction for those least suited for it. Why else is the market so rich yet you are so poor?

    Once u fully understand what I just wrote, only then, will u be able to start the journey.

  5. The first respond (Lee) is so good in elaboration in his point. Just want to thanks here.
    Though market is purely unpredictable, but the best solution we've got here is "Your ability to compete is directly measurable". :)
